Nothing further has transpired in relation to matters connected with the Western Department and the command under Gen. Fremont, except it being definitely ascertained that a determined and systematic effort ha been made to effect the removal of Gen. FniMONT to another command, and to place the affairs of Missouri in the hands of one fitted for the duty, who would, however, be more considerate of contractors than the present commander seems inclined to be. THE CASI Or SIERILL. I Skreill, whe was released from Fort Lafayette, came to Washington to-day for the purpose of reclaiming the papers and property seized by the officers at the time of his arrest.

His counsel, Judge Ksllit, of Philadelphia, succeeded in procuring a release of what papers were here, and an order on Mr. Surveyor Abokews for the drafts or post-notes. The documents show conclusively that Mr. Serrill an agent of the Bank of England. A QUESTION OF CONTRABAND.

Some time ago, a number of persons were indited, at Chicago, for aiding contrabands to escape from service. In every instance, I believe, it is ascertained that the owners of the slaves are rebels. The Attorney-General has, I understand, ordered the indictments at Chicago to be dismissed, and the defendants discharged from custody and from their bonds. It is probable the same course will be pursued in relation to similar indictments elsewhere. ATTORSEY-6ENERAL BATES RETURNED.

Attorney-General Bates returned to Washington last evening. CONSUL TO CEMARARA. It will be recollected that charges of disloyalty were made against Mr. T. D.

Edwards, of Ken tucky, who was lately appointed Consul to Dem-arara. Mr. Edwards has taken the trouble to produce satisfactory evidence that these charges were entirely uiitrue. NO PRIVATEER FITTED OUT IN ENGLAND. The Government is in receipt of satisfactory evidence that no privateer has been fitted out in a British port, notwithstanding the common assertion to the contrary.

THE CASK 0F THE SUVTKR. It is probable that the matter of the privateer Sumter being permitted to coal in a British port, and being saluted by the British flag, will be made the subject of a diplomatic inquiry, and perhaps of a preiiy resoiuie protest. AN IMPORTANT REC0NN0ISSA5CI. At 12 o'clock to-day. Gen.

Smith, with detach ments of the Thi Vermont, Nineteenth Indiana, and Seventy-ninth New-York Volunteers, a squad ron of cavalry ani Rir fin's battery the whole force numbering! i about 2,000 men left Chain Bridge, and marched a distance of six miles northwest to a reconnoissance. They met with no resistance on the route. Bavins success fully completed the reconnoisance, they set out on their return. When a short distance from Lew-insvilje, the rebel! appeared on the hills about seven-eighths of a mile northabout one thous and infantry and one thousand cavalry and im mediately commenced a rapid firing, the shots from he howitzers generally falling short, and those from the larger guns passing over our troops. One of the Vermont regiment was killed on the spot, one mortally: wounded, three seriously, and several slightly, Capt.

Griffix immediately brought his battery to bear upon the bill, and after a vigorous ten minutes, drove the rebels from theii position. Our troops were anxious to march upon the rebels from the moment of their appearance. An attack, however, was bo part of the movement, and they were compelled to resume their inarch to the Chain Bridge without a battle. Gen. McClxllaji was at bis quarters in the city when the attack was made.

On hearing of the successful result, he proceeded with bis Staff to Chain Bridge to learn me particulars, and he did not return until o'clock to-nlrfct. ug was heard from along our lines across the other aide, and la connection with the rumored fact of earne kind, the people here were confident tnat a battle waa In progress. The fixing, how. ever, was only with blank cartridges. nt roroiTxa flotiixa.

Bellows, Bishop Clark and Frederick Law Olmsted, the officers of the Sanitary Commission, had an interview with Gen. McClellah, in regard to the condition of our forces. Gen. McClellan expressed a great interest in the work which the Commission had undertaken, and he announced his readiness to do everything in his power to advance their purposes. The Medical Director on the General's Staff also favors their views.

GEN. BUTLER. Gen. Butler is still in the city. He will proba bly return to his home again before taking the field for active service.

He was granted a leave of absence for eight days, and had only been home a day and a half when he was ordered to return to this city. LIEUT. TOMPKINS PROMOTED. Lieut. Tompkins of the Fifth, late Second Cav alry, has been assigned the position of Assistant Adjutant-General in Gen.

THE BALTIMORE EXCHANGE CUT OFF. An order was issued yesterday prohibiting the carrying of the Baltimore Exchange in the United States mails LETTERS CAPTURED BT THE PIRATES. A large number of letters were on board the Abby Bradford she was captured by the privateer Sumter. They were opened by the pi rates, but left on board the Bradford. When she was recaptured the letters were forwarded to the Navy Department, and this morning were sent to the Secretary of State, where they now remain.

CAPT. DOVE ARRESTED. The force of marines which left yesterday in the cars was to arrest Capt. Dove, of sloop-of-war Pocahontas. The arrest was accomplished, and Capt.

Dov brought to the Navy-yard, where he is now confined on the Philadelphia. The occasion of his arrest was a suspicion that certain visits he had made to Virginia recently were to give information to the rebels. His friends here, however, maintain that they were for no such purpose, but to visit friends wno lived near the thore. 4 DISCHARGING MINORS. The applications for the discharge of minors from the Army has become so frequent as to create serious annoyanee to the military authorities.

It is said that a general order will be issued at once to prevent any discharges upon such grounds in the future. Leo. AN IMPORTANT RECONNOISANCE. Wasbingtoh, Wednesday, Sept. 11.

A large party started out at 7 o'clock this morning, from the vicinity of Chain Bridge, under the command of Col. Stxvinb, of the New-York Highlanders. It consisted of several detached companies of infantry, a company of cavalry and Capt. Gairris'g battery. As our skirmishers advanced, the enemy's pickets retired beyond Lewinsville, about seven miles from Chain Bridge.

Our troops having accomplished the object of their errand connected with the reconnoissance of the country, began to retrace their steps, when a large force of rebels, consisting of two Regiments of Infantry, and Col. Stswabt's Regiment of Virginia Cavalry, with a battery of four pieces, were seen approaching from the direction of Fall's Church, evidently with a view of cutting them off and preventing their return to their camp, and line of battle was formed by the remainder of their forces. The rebel battery then opened with shell, which was replied to from Gairrra's battery. Several rounds were fired on each tilde, when our troops ceased firing for about twenty minutes, In order to give the rebels an opportunity, which they would not embrace, of meeting them on the open field, the rebels being for the greater part concealed in the woods. Our forces, on resuming operations, brought into action a 32-pounder, the shell from which soon silenced the rebel battery.

The gun was then directed towards the cavalry, which appeared on the road leading to Fall's Church, and soon sent them flying, a number reeling from their saddles and falling to the ground. The shells exploded in their midst. The command was then given to withdraw, and our column fell back in good order to Chain Bridge reaching there late In the afternoon. Gen. Smith, commanding the division to which these troops are attached, arrived on the ground shortly after the engagement commenced, and a1 once assumed the command.

The names of the killed of the Federal trqops are OF NINETEENTH INDIANA REGIMENT. Sergeant Samuel Goodwin, Company I. Private Oliver Hubbell, Company D. Private William H. Wrcod, Company D.

Lieut Hancock, of Company is supposed to be killed, as he was seen to fafl. Three privates in Company were wounded, and three are supposed to have been taken prisoners. THIRD VERMONT REGIMENT. Amos Maxerole, of Company C. William Colburn, of Company C.

Four of the same company were slightly wounded. These casualties were in part owing to the fearless daring of the men, who violated positive orders which were given to secure their safety.

A correspondent on board the steamer Poea- kontat, of the Potomac fleet, gives the following The line of batteries at Aquia Creek extend about six miles. They cross the railroad not far from the depot, and extend, in one direction, as far as the Poto.

mac Creek, where there is another battery. These batteries are well posted, and appear to be in good condition. They have some large guns, and their practice shows they understand their management. Some of the guns are rifled, and they appear to have an eight-inch colurabiad. One of their rifled guns, a few days ago, threw a shell across the Potomac, which is here about four miles wide.

The battery at the creek is under the command, of Capt Walxxr then there a battery of flying artillery, commanded by Capt. Bbax-roN, and another, lately from Richmond, which consists of six large of them rifled, two howitzers, and three other brass pieces, and at least fifty horses. There is another company, said to be made up of Baltimore boys. The water defences are under the command of Capt. Lthcb, formerly of the United States Navy, and who conducted the exploring expedition to the Dead Sea.

As near as can be ascertained, there are at least 15,000 rebel troops at Aquia Creek. They are bold and defiant, and appear ready for action. Not long since a fleet of twelve or fifteen vessels anchored off the Creek, and from the movements on shore, we suppose the rebels expected an attack. As the night closed in we could discover but two; or three batteries, but at dawn the next morning jwe could distinctly see a long line of batteries; extending at least four or five miles. They had been erected before, but were concealed by the trees and bushes In front of them.

As they now expected: to use them during the nighl, they cleared away in front) thus leaving their works exposed. IMPORTANT FROM KENTUCKY. THE REBEL TROOPS TO BE ORDERED OUT OF KENTUCKY. FxAXxrofcT, Wednesday, Sept. 11.

The House of Representatives has adopted a resolution directing the Governor to issue a proclamation ordering the Confederate troops now encamped in this State to evacuate the soil of Ken. tucky. The vote on the passage of the resolution stood 71 in favor to 26 against. The House then refused to suspend the rules in order to allow the introduction of a resolution ordering the Governor to issue a proclamation ordering both the Federal and Confederate troops to evacuate the State. GREAT FORCE OF REBELS AT COLUMBUS.

Caiko, 111., Tuesday, Sept. 10. The gunboats Canes tog a and Lexington recon-noitered down the Mississippi River to-day. They encountered a battery of sixteen guns at Lucas Bend, on the Missouri shore, and two rebel gunboats. They silenced the rebel batteries and disabled the rebel gunboat Yantrt, and would have captured her had she not been supported near Columbus.

One of the Canatoga't men was slightly injured. The loss of the rebels is Vtot known. Twenty of our scouts were to-day driven in to Col. Oglibbt's camp by two hundred rebels. There are no less than fifteen thousand rebels in camp at Columbus, and they were largely reinforced yesterday.

GEN. POLK'S INVASION. VIEWS OF THE UNION KEN OF KENTUCKY. From the Louisville Journal. The Confederate troops, without provocation advanced from Tennessee into Kentucky, and seized the town of Hickman and a place called Chalk Bluffs jn the Immediate vicinity of Columbus, and went to erecting fortifications at both points.

A few hours afterwards a Confederate Army of from three to four thousand started from Tennessee to take possession of Paducah, but was anticipated In the occupation of that town by Gen. Grant, with a United States force from Cairo. The presumption is that the Confederate invasions of Kentucky from Tennessee were made under the authority and by the in structioas of the Government at Richmond, fof it is scarcely supposable that Gen. Pole, who la reputed to be a prudent officer, would have taken the responsibility of the adoption of a policy certain to be productive of vast and solemn consequences. The presumption, we repeat, Is that the; Government of the Confederate States ordered the advance of lis troops to various points in Kentucky, and, if it did, the whole purpose of that Government was to force the war at once upon and into our State.

We know-that the authorities at the Confederate Capital have been strenuously urged by the secession leaders in Kentucky for some time past to adopl this course ana it seems they have done the outrageous and fearful deed at last. The movement of Gen. a Aire to Paducah was right. It was a necessity. It was not made an hour too soon.

If it had been delayed a little longer, the town would have been in the hands of the Confederate troops, as Hickman and Chalk Bluffs already were. Gen. i aht's proclamation, which our readers have seen, was exactly what the occasion demanded. And now the conflict upon Kentucky soil, so long and so earnestly deprecated by us and all other good citizens, is ai hand. At any hour we may hear of a bloody collision within the limits of our State, between tkt force of the Southtm Government that have tnvadtd us, and the troops of our own Government Blood will flow, and low freely, unUtt the Confederal troop shall at once withdraw, and this we scarcely venture to hope.

The crisis has come. It has come, and it mast he met It must be met ia a manner worthy of oar State. The Legislature must act with a promptitude and an energy suited to the exigency. And 1 the people, ay, the people, must act wim corresponding promptitude and energy. Whatever there Is of State pride, whatever there is of chivalry, whatever there is of patriotism ia the hearts of Kentuckians, must be roused to action, to instant and resolute and resistless action, by the knowledge of the startling; tact that Kentucky invaded, that her soil Is trodden by he armed enemies of her country.

The passage of I tis intelligence from man to man, and from to town throughout our State, eaaaot, we treat, fail to etirtho hearts and souls of our whole loyal ropulaftoa, like the tlaat of a myriad of trumpets. The tune has come when every Kentuckiao must show himself either worthy or grossly unworthy of the name. FROM COLUMN. FJJLL PREPARATIONS FOB THE REBELS. PuASAirt Hiu, Tuesday, Sept 10, vid BAXtiirokx, Wednesday, Sept 11.

On Saturday hut Mr. McDaniels, in the employ of the Government, arrested Isaac Youno and another person, for participating in a disloyal meeting held at Rockville, They are now in the hands of the Provost-Marshal of this Division. The same person yesterday, assisted by a guard, took into their custody at their residences in Rockville, Messrs. W. V.

Bovoa and John Bbkwsb, on the same charge. During the arrest of the latter, a large concourse of their political friends assembled, and at one time it was thought that a rescue would be attempted but the determined attitude of Mr. Mc-DasFils and his assistants prevented it Messrs. Bkewsb and Boms are now held by the Provost-Marshal as political prisoners. The Secessionists are said to be very strong and defiant at Rockville.

Heavy firing was heard Sunday In the direction of Conrad's Ferry. Our picket discoYCred jebel cayalry In camp about two miles from the river, ana Cnpi Tompkiss, of the Rhode Island Battery, threw about 20 shells in the vicinity, and the encampment disappeared. Every preparation has been made to give the rebels a warm reception, should they make the attempt to cross betw een Great Falls and the Point of Rocks, with a view of marching upon Baltimore simultaneously with their threatened attack upon Washington. A Methodist preacher of this County was arrested a few days ago by some of our scouts for attempting to transport some Baltimore rebels into Virginia. He is in charge of the Provost-Marshal.

A formal but impromptu visit of congratulation was paid on Sunday night by the commissioned officers of the New-York Nineteenth Regiment, Major Ledlii commanding, to Brig. -Gen. Bidplb, commanding the First Brigade of Bamkb' division. The interview was very gratifying in all respects, and after being severally introduced by Major Ledlix, Gen. Bidblx made a few brief and happy remarks, alluding to the recent defection in the regiment, but congratulated the officers that they had outrode the storm, and that their regiment was now in an efficient state, lie had noticed a decided improvement since it had been his duty to notice their drill and discipline.

The general health continues to Improve. All the seriously 111 have been sent to the general hospital at Baltimore. ARREST OF COL. JAMES W. WALL, OF NEW-JERSEY.

The unhtppy difficulty and loss of life resulting; from the attempt of Capt Cbesto and his commandTto leave the regiment with which he was oonneeted-'a WUleU's Ppint, continues to form tho engrossing telle of conversation at Flushing and vicinity. Few facts come to Tight, however, tending to change the aspects of the case as first reported. Csesto and his command had been mustered into the State service, but seejns to have had no idea that this bound him to remain 'in Col, LaeBiniBB's Regiment.

His men appear to haVe been generally ignorant of the conspiracy to remove them permanently from the camp, but followed the Captain as they had been accustomed to do. Capt' Cresto, In order to effect his purpose without observe. tiun, was made officer of the guard by his own request, and then selected the picket mostly from hii own company, taking a few others to avoid suspicion One of the privates to whom the matter had been confided revealed the plot to the Colonel, who sent for Cresto ith the intention of arresting him, but the Captain refused to go to the Colonel's quarters, and thus avoided arrest Previously a guard, had been placed on the road to intercept Caxsio. CoL Lxeix-sbx was on the road with two officers to meet the In 1 gitive Captain, when he heard the discharge of a pis tol. followed by the volley of musketry and the out! cries of the wounded men.

When he reached the spot Capt Cbxsto's men, excepting the dead and wounded had left tbe ground. Drs. Allts and Bloosoooo, ol Flushing, were sent for, who arrived before 2 o'clocJt A.M., and proceeded immediately to care for the wounded.
